Chapter 75 Brothers and Brothers Respect
Chapter 75 Brothers and Brothers Respect
"Can you tell me how long ago that was?" Shen Xu asked curiously, as he really wanted to know how much time had passed since he entered the Cloud Bamboo Realm.
"I'm not entirely sure of the exact time, but it feels like it's been almost half a year since that incident!" Shi Ping said hesitantly.
"Six months!!"
Shen Xu was immediately shocked by this number. He had actually stayed in the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm for nearly half a year, whereas he felt he should have only spent about three months there.
"Why do you look so surprised! I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's definitely been four or five months."
"It's nothing, it's just that an event that can still be remembered by all the senior brothers after half a year must be extraordinary," Shen Xu explained.
"That is indeed extraordinary, but you should ask less about it."
"That's Shen Guangjian's courtyard up ahead, but he should be on his way back now. If you'd like to wait, you can come and sit with me for a while," Shi Ping suggested.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Shi, but I already know the place. You can come anytime. Since tomorrow is my cousin's important day, I shouldn't bother him. Let's wait until he's free!" Shen Xu said, taking his leave.
"Well, it's really not a good time to disturb him now. I never expected your Shen family to be so fraternal and respectful; no wonder you have produced so many talented people," Shi Ping couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Shi is absolutely right. Our Shen family values brotherly love and respect the most," Shen Xu replied with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Shi Ping, Shen Xu waited near Shen Guangjian's courtyard. He had a good plan in mind, but first he couldn't let Shen Guangjian discover his identity so soon.
It wasn't until nightfall that Shen Xu saw Shen Guangjian slowly walking towards him from a distance, humming a little tune, clearly in a good mood.
Shen Guangjian felt that his life had become smooth sailing ever since Shen Xu died in the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm.
After his defeat to Shen Xu, his life took a sharp turn for the worse. First, his father was very disappointed in his performance, believing that he had made a major enemy of the family, which directly cut off much of the family's support for him. Second, Jiang Yun lost her former enthusiasm for him, becoming indifferent and even refusing to see him again. Finally, his uncle Shen Mingshi made him give up on his feelings for Jiang Yun, delivering the most fatal blow to him.
That period of my life was dark, unbearable to recall, a nightmare!
But he did not expect that Shen Xu would dare to seriously injure Jiang Mingcheng, and even dare to insult all the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, and was eventually forced into the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm.
But after Shen Xu was forced into the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm, his life was filled with sunshine again. His father's affection returned, and he gave him even more resources than he had previously promised. His talent was finally discovered by Elder Jiang, who devoted himself to cultivating him, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.
He has recently maintained a nine-day winning streak on the sword-fighting stage. He is just one day away from equaling Lu Qingshan's record and declaring to the entire inner sect that he, Shen Guangjian, is no less than anyone else, including Shen Xu, whom he had previously lost to.
Most importantly, with his persistent efforts, Jiang Yun's attitude towards him has improved, and she has agreed to watch his dashing figure on the fencing stage tomorrow. He has already imagined the scene of marrying Jiang Yun and reaching the pinnacle of his life.
This is a time of bright prospects, a time of triumph, a time of paradise!
"How should I invite Jiang Yun to watch the sunset tomorrow?" Shen Guangjian's face was filled with a happy smile.
Just then, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He looked down and saw a long sword gleaming coldly, which greatly alarmed him. The person who could silently creep up behind him and place a sword against his neck was definitely not someone he could afford to mess with right now.
"Don't move!" Shen Xu said coldly, altering his voice with his spiritual energy.
“Brave warrior, I will give you whatever you want, but please don’t kill me. This is the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. If you kill me, you won’t be able to escape,” Shen Guangjian said calmly.
"Have you freed Wang Zhong from slavery?"
"Wang Zhong? Who is that?"
"Shen Xu's old servant."
“This…” Shen Guangjian hesitated.
"Speak!" Shen Xu shouted sharply, his grip on the sword tightening even more.
“Of course it’s been lifted,” Shen Guangjian said calmly.
"You're asking for death!!" Shen Xu's sword left a bloody mark on Shen Guangjian's neck.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Be careful with your sword." Shen Guangjian's tone finally became flustered.
“I do want to free him, but I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had time to go back to the Shen family to handle this. Once I get back, I will definitely remove him from his slave status as soon as possible. After all, I’m not a man of my word,” Shen Guangjian said with some helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his thinking was correct; after he disappeared, Shen Guangjian was unlikely to notice Wang Bo, an old man who was powerless.
"I will investigate the Shen family later. If it doesn't match what you said, I will take the lives of your entire family!" After saying this, Shen Xu disappeared into the vast night.
After Shen Xu left, Shen Guangjian touched the blood on his neck and couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had said one wrong word today, his head would probably be gone by now.
"But who would stand up for Shen Xu at this point? And with such strength? Could it be a backup plan Shen Xu left behind? His strength has increased so quickly, it must be related to that person from earlier."
"I guess Shen Xu entrusted that person to look after Wang Zhong before he went to the Cloud Mist Bamboo Realm." Shen Guangjian felt he had guessed the truth.
He originally intended to use Wang Zhong to extract Shen Xu's secrets, but after Shen Xu's death, Wang Zhong became useless. He was just an old man; the Shen family could have raised him until his death without a problem, but offending a powerful figure for that reason was not worth it.
"Moreover, that person should also be an elder within the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. Outsiders shouldn't be able to break into such a core place as Green Bamboo Residence," Shen Guangjian thought to himself.
After asking Shen Guangjian, Shen Xu returned to his secluded courtyard under the cover of night.
The fact that Uncle Wang was safe was his greatest comfort, and it put his mind at ease. It seemed he had to go back as soon as possible to pick Uncle Wang up from the Shen family.
However, now is not the right time. He must do something big to announce to the Green Bamboo Sword Sect that Shen Hansan has returned!
In four or five months, Jiang Mingcheng's injuries should be almost healed! After all, his own serious injuries have completely healed, so it's time to add some new wounds for Jiang Mingcheng.
However, he really had no way to deal with Elder Jiang and the many elders present at the time, since their strength and social class were not on the same level.
However, he could check who their descendants are, and then he could visit them one by one to offer his help.
